Hey guys and gals! So, the end of the year is slowly getting closer!! Hope exam preparation and life in general is going well for you guys :). Fisrtly, I would like to remind you guys that have been coming to training sessions to buy the summer term mat fees (I myself had forgotten and bought them today) just to make things easier, find the link to the product here: https://www.imperialcollegeunion.org/shop/club-society-project-products/judo... On a different note, Sport Imperial have asked me if any of you would want to attend the ARCS award ceremony, it will be held at Heston sports ground and it is going to be the first ceremony of its kind, with dinner and drinks provided with the ticket. I leave here the information for the event, if you wish to attend be quick as the tickets are now on general sale: ARCS – Appreciation, Recognition and Celebration of Sport As you will now be aware ARCS will be taking place on the 18th June at Heston Sports Ground. The shortlist for nominees has been distributed via our social media, and you can find it here https://www.facebook.com/sportimperial Alongside these award Oli Benton will be handing out the ACC Colours on this evening, so it should be a great night to get down and celebrate with your team mates and fellow students! Alongside the awards, below are some further details about the event: · Transport – This is included in the £35 ticket price and will include return bus journey from South Kensington departing at 6pm (Beit Quad) to Heston Sports Ground and back again at the end of the evening. · Champagne Reception – Upon arrival Students will hand in there ticket and receive a glass of champagne to get the evening started while they mingle and have pictures etc! · Dinner – This will be a 3 course meal with a selection of meat and vegetarian/vegan options, Hannah Blandford is just firming the details for the menu, and this will be circulated in due course! Alongside the food, there will also be half a bottle of wine per person on the table, split into red and white options. · Speakers – We have both Ami Williams (MBE) http://www.amywilliams.com/ and Ted Jackson http://www.iknowtedjackson.com/ speaking at the event, both have done fantastic things in their own disciplines so should be pretty inspirational to hear from. · Photographs – Take that Photo will be attending to take formal shots of the groups in their finest clothing, very different from the usually muddy, sweaty shots! Alongside this Ben Lester (Varsity Photographer) will be attending to take the informal shots on the night. · After Party – Our very own DJ India Jordan will be providing the entertainment for the evening, and as she has already hosted a number of union events, she’s a pretty popular choice, and I’m sure will put in some old favourites! Clubs have the opportunity to purchase a table of 10 spaces up until the 3rd June, after this point tickets will go on general sale and those clubs wishing for more than 10 spaces can take up the tickets then. With regards to payment your members can purchase the tickets individually, or as a group, or you as a club can raise a purchase order for the spaces. We really hope that you and your club will join us on what looks to be a fantastic event! f you wish to attend please send your RSVP and purchase your tickets from Tegan Pickles<mailto:t.pickles@imperial.ac.uk?subject=ARCS%20RSVP>. That is all, sorry for the lengthy e mail, Good luck to you all!
